When my mom was at St. Joseph's Living Center, I enjoyed talking with Will. He used to brighten up when I told him how handsome he looked that day and I loved asking him about his work. He got very serious when he described what he did that particular day and you could sense that he was a hard worker. My mom reminded him of his mother and he was always very concerned about the well-being of my mom. I think I looked forward to seeing Will almost as much as my mom! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Paula Moran (daughter of Nina Demarco)

Monique and Lorraine- It was hard for me to learn of your dad's passing or MR T as I always called him. He was a great man, always happy, always willing to drive us around when we were kids. I am trying not to be sad but to be happy in my memories of him and celebrate the great life he lived. I know he loved you, your mom and your families more then anything.
